Chapter 046 Diverting Conflicts

Lin Siyan was so nervous that she kept swallowing her saliva. She tried to hold on and stayed awake until now, but she didn't expect to be discovered anyway.

The Li family members were also woken up and started complaining one by one.

"It's the middle of the night, why are you still awake?" Li Sheng yelled impatiently.

Li Yuan was also very unwilling. Although he was not hungry, his stomach was not full of food and it was still aching. He finally fell asleep but was woken up again. He looked towards Gu Jia unhappily, but found Lin Siyan standing there.

"What's going on?"

Song Qiang snorted coldly, her voice hoarse from just waking up, "What else can it be? Mr. Li, if you can't afford to support a wife and children, then don't look for so many. Now you come to our house to steal things. You're really good, you're greedy to no end."

Whenever Song Qiang got the chance, she would lash out at Li Yuan just to vent her anger on Gu Yuru.

Although she was somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Yuru's previous behavior, she still knew the difference between inside and outside. In addition, they had lived a comfortable life along the way, all thanks to Gu Yuru's little daughter.

Li Yuan's face turned dark and red. He didn't expect Lin Siyan to do such a thing. "What are you doing there? Come here quickly."

"Is that the end?" Song Qiang curled her lips. "Thank goodness Mumu woke up, otherwise I'm afraid all the meat would be gone."

"I...I didn't eat a single bite." Lin Siyan said.

"That's because you didn't succeed. Even if you succeeded, you wouldn't eat it? What's the matter with not being able to steal it, so it doesn't count as stealing?" Song Qiang questioned.

Li Mumu gave a thumbs up to her second aunt, who was responsible for the family's quarrels, but Lin Siyan's case was not as simple as cheating.

Sure enough, when she walked over to take a look, she saw that there was still some medicine powder that had not been evenly applied on the meat. The smell was clearly the same as during the day.

This guy really feels uncomfortable if he doesn't cause trouble.

Song Qiang smiled proudly. It was difficult to be reasonable, but it was not easy to be unreasonable. However, at most, she was just being unreasonable.

"I..." Lin Siyan bit her lip and looked at Li Yuan lovingly, but Li Yuan looked away in disgust.

"What are you arguing about? If you delay your trip again tomorrow, you'll be in trouble."

Finally, the yamen runner who was woken up shouted, and the Gu family members quieted down. Naturally, the Li family members did not dare to say anything.

Lin Siyan breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Yuan, who didn't want to lie next to her, said with disgust, "Siyan, how could you do such a thing?"

Lin Siyan was delighted when she thought about the bad luck that the Gu family was about to face tomorrow. "Brother Yuan, the Gu family is too bullying. I... I really didn't do this for a bite of food. They laughed at you today, and I'm avenging you. I was scared to death just now, but even if I get beaten, scolded, and misunderstood, I will protect your reputation."

"You?" Li Yuan understood something, but he could have reminded the Gu family, but he chose to remain silent.

He pooped his pants today, it was so embarrassing.

Thinking that the Gu family would be so embarrassed tomorrow, he felt comforted, and Lin Siyan's words softened her heart.

"What's the matter with today's medicine?" Li Yuan asked again.

Lin Siyan shook her head and raised three fingers. "I swear to God, it really wasn't me. You're my child's and my support. How could I do anything to hurt you? Besides, the Gu family also has medicine. They went to buy it."

Li Yuan didn't say anything else. Lin Siyan leaned towards him. Seeing that he didn't refuse this time, she felt that it was worth the risk. It was like killing two birds with one stone.

The next morning, the two families prepared breakfast.

The Li family still had dry biscuits, which were damp and had changed in taste after being kept for a day. However, they didn't have much left and they had no money, so if they threw them away, they would be gone forever.

The Gu family's breakfast today was particularly sumptuous, with leftover roasted wild boar meat, pheasant eggs and cooked goat's milk from yesterday.

They had just milked the goat last night, but there was another large basin of milk in the morning, and there was still so much by noon. With this goat, they really didn't have to worry about having nothing to eat.

When Li Mumu was worrying about how to persuade everyone not to eat roasted wild boar meat, Zhang Xiang came over with a big belly.

"Is there any left of yesterday's roast pork?"

It tastes good. He ate too much yesterday, but after a nap, he still wanted to eat it.

Li Mumu's eyes lit up, "Yes, uncle, if you like, I'll give them all to you."

Since she said so, and it was she who discovered the wild boar, no one said anything. They ate a lot yesterday, so they really didn't feel like eating this morning.

"Oh, this little girl is very capable." Zhang Xiang didn't hesitate and took up half a basin of wild boar meat and left.

Lin Siyan was startled when she saw this and quickly stood up to stop him, "Sir, this... this wild boar meat is leftover."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Xiang asked impatiently.

"I……"

"Get out of the way." Zhang Xiang pushed her. "You can eat if you want. But you have to warm the bed for me tonight."

Li Yuan was also a little anxious, especially seeing Zhang Xiang so openly targeting his woman. "Sir, this wild boar meat has been left overnight. I'm afraid it will make you feel uncomfortable if you eat it. We are just kindly reminding you."

"You're just greedy, aren't you?" Zhang Xiang sneered. "You can't even afford to eat, yet you're still so picky that you let your woman go out and have sex. If I were you, I'd just find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Go away, get out of here."

Zhang Xiang pushed Li Liyuan away, and then called on other yamen runners to come and share the food.

Lin Siyan was completely panicked. "What should I do? Brother Yuan?"

Li Yuan had no choice.

At this point, I can only pray that the laxative doesn't work.

Song Qiang sighed and lowered her voice, "Alas, what a pity for the wild boar meat."

Madam Gu smiled and said, "It's not a pity. A few pieces of pork in exchange for our safety is worth it."

Li Mumu felt that some things could not be concealed for too long, so she said, "It's not a pity, that pork can't be eaten."

"It won't be damaged after a night." Gu Mingjing said gently, then looked at the little girl with a smile.

Li Mumu shook her head and lowered her voice, "It's not bad, it's drugged."

Everyone looked at each other, and instantly remembered that Lin Siyan had sneaked in here last night.

Zhang Yi was also shocked. "Mumu, are you saying that Lin Siyan did something to the body?"

"Yeah, I gave you a laxative. Someone's going to be in trouble today."

The Gu family quickly understood why the little girl didn't say anything yesterday. If she had said anything then, they would at most have scolded her a few times. Lin Siyan was pregnant, and if they really did fight, it would be difficult to resolve if she had a miscarriage.

But now the conflict has shifted to Lin Siyan and the yamen runners. They are waiting to see what will become of Lin Siyan.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after they walked, the yamen runners who had eaten the roast pork began to have stomachaches one after another, and soon they all went to the toilet.

Lin Siyan was nervous but also a little expectant, wondering how the Gu family would end up.
